Chapter 141 Xie Jin’s Decision! Cheng Zhu’s Shortcomings!

Latest website:

Scared!

Totally scared!

Jie Jin collapsed on the ground, his mouth began to tremble.

He was really scared now, and was extremely shocked by Prince Han's crazy idea!

At first, Xie Jin was moved by Zhu Gaoxu's words, "There are tens of millions of houses in Guangzhou, and all the poor people in the world will be happy". He thought that this Han prince cared about the people and was ready to open up a path for education for the children of poor families.

However, it was not until this moment that he finally understood that Han Wang Zhu Gaoxu was simply a lunatic!

What he wants is not a noble son from a poor family, what he wants is to overthrow Cheng and Zhu and create a prosperous age where a hundred schools of thought contend!

Ever since Dong Zhongshu of the Western Han Dynasty deposed hundreds of schools of thought and only respected Confucianism, Confucianism has become the official doctrine of all dynasties. The other hundreds of schools of thought have disappeared one after another, including Legalism, which competed with Confucianism in the past!

Since its development, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, one of the Confucian schools, has been designated as the official mainstream school from the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty.

Students all over the world, in official schools, learn the Four Books and Five Classics revised by Zhu Wengong, and learn the knowledge and beliefs of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism. Without exception, no one dares to violate it!

Even though he, Xie Jin, was known as the most well-educated person in the past five hundred years, and was highly praised by both the government and the public, he did not dare to be disrespectful to Zhu Wengong or Cheng Zhu!

Because, that is Zhu Wengong, that is Cheng Zhu Neo-Confucianism, that is a behemoth!

Let alone Jie Jin, even the current emperor would not dare to touch Cheng Zhu!

King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, how dare you? !

"Xiaojie, either you have the courage to fight with me, and you will become successful and famous, and you will be famous forever. If you fail, you will die!"

"Furthermore, if you back down at this moment, what awaits you is an unknown amount of time in prison, and in the end you will be given the word death!"

"I will give you three quarters of an hour to consider and make your choice before I leave the Zhenfu Division!"

"After all, in terms of knowledge and influence, you Xie Jin are the best candidate for Minister of Education. If you really give up, then I will have no choice but to find someone else."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Gaoxu turned around and left.

It seems that he gave Xie Jin the right to choose, but in fact, Xie Jin only has one way to go, and that is to accept his invitation, use his influence to fight side by side with Prince Han, and pull Cheng Zhu down from the altar!

If successful, Xie Jin will be a giant in the court of Minister of Education, famous and famous throughout the ages!

But if it fails, then all the virtuous names of Xie Jin will be lost in one day, and he will become a deviant and rebellious scholar, be spit on by the world, and die miserably!

These are two completely opposite extremes, and they are also possible endings for Jie Jin.

However, what if he doesn't accept Zhu Gaoxu's invitation?

Oh, then Jie Jin will have no choice but to wait for death in prison. No one will even know if his body rots and stinks!

Xie Jin is not clear about this!

The methods of King Zhu Gaoxu of Han were extremely sinister and vicious!

From the moment he came to visit the prison, his sinister plan had already begun.

The emperor was afraid of him and even extremely disgusted with him, and the prince also became suspicious of him because of what happened today.

Now that he understands Jin, other than joining the broken ship of King Zhu Gaoxu of Han Dynasty and following him all the way to the dark side, is there any other choice?

Thinking about it, Xie Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Zhu Gaoxu, you, the one who kills a thousand swords, are so sinister and vicious!"

After muttering something under his breath, he shouted loudly the next moment.

"Come, come quickly, I want to see His Highness the King of Han!"

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu was walking in the pitch-black corridor, with thousands of thoughts in his mind.

He planned to establish the Ministry of Education and asked Xie Jin to serve as Minister of Education to compile school textbooks. This was not a temporary move.

Zhu Gaoxu always kept in mind the two major national policies of China in later generations, the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education and the strategy of strengthening the country through talents.

Although the Ming Dynasty adopted the talent strategy of "nurturing scholars to recruit scholars", most of these talents who studied in official schools and cultivated virtues were just nerds who were stupid after reading Cheng and Zhu.

What is science?

One of the schools of Confucianism, it was the product of the mutual absorption of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism during the Northern Song Dynasty.

Who is Cheng Zhu?

"Cheng" refers to the two brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi of the Northern Song Dynasty. Both of them studied under Zhou Dunyi and were the founders of Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties. They are known as "Er Cheng" in the world.

"Zhu" is the Neo-Confucian scholar Zhu Xi of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was another master of Confucianism after Kong Sheng, and is known as "Zhu Wengong" in the world.

He himself was honored as "Zhu Zi" because of his great achievements in Neo-Confucianism. He became the only twelve philosophers who were not direct disciples of Confucius but were worshiped in Confucian temples and worshiped by Confucian disciples.

What exactly is Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism?

It is basically New Confucianism founded by Zhou Dunyi, Zhang Zai, Shao Yong, Er Cheng and others, and inherited from the Xinxing Confucianism of Zisi and Mencius.

Ercheng paid more attention to principles. Their theories laid the foundation of Taoism with the "mystery of the heart" and "rational" as the highest category, so they are also called Neo-Confucianism.

Er Cheng's theory, especially its core viewpoint - "preserve the principles of nature and eliminate human desires", was later "inherited and developed" by Zhu Xi, and is known as the Cheng-Zhu School in the world.

Zhu Wengong of the Southern Song Dynasty "summarized" the Neo-Confucianism thought of Er Cheng of the Northern Song Dynasty and established a huge system of Neo-Confucianism. It integrated the learning of the Song Dynasty into Dacheng and made it one of the mainstream schools of thought. It was even designated as the official philosophy in the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties!

Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism can be called the most exquisite and complete theoretical system in ancient China, and its influence is profound and huge.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, Cheng-Zhu has been established as the official ideology by emperors of all dynasties, which is not unreasonable.

Because this thing perfectly adapted to the transformation of centralized power in feudal society and gradually moved towards political philosophy, Cheng and Zhu repeatedly emphasized the "three cardinal principles and five constant principles" and "loyalty to the emperor and patriotism" and other ideas, which provided detailed theoretical guidance for the emperor's autocratic rule. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net has become the spiritual pillar of dynasty rule!

To put it bluntly, Cheng Zhu was the ideological tool used by the emperor to paralyze the people of the world.

The students have been exposed to Cheng Zhu since they were young, and when they grew up, they also studied Cheng Zhu in official sects. The thoughts of Cheng and Zhu have long been engraved in their bones!

Loyal to the emperor and patriotic, follow the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, uphold the principles of nature and eliminate human desires...

Although it seems that Cheng and Zhu's importance to the stability of the country is self-evident, its restraint and imprisonment of people's thoughts is also obvious.

For example, if you are a student of the Ming Dynasty, you don't need to think or innovate. You only need to learn Cheng Zhu and read Cheng Zhu step by step. Then you can take the scientific examination and have the opportunity to become an official!

This thing is a tool to suppress the people's thinking and innovation, making the common people and even the literati and officials in the world become insensitive, and it also makes the imperial power reach its peak.

Especially after Jianzhou Jurchen established the country, they completely distorted Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, quoted it out of context, and used its teachings to paralyze and imprison all people in the world, causing endless harm.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu was also a progressive young man from later generations. Since he came to the Ming Dynasty and became the Han prince who supervised the country, he naturally would not sit idly by and watch while the castrated and changed version of Cheng Zhu continued to poison the Chinese people.

But I have to admit that Cheng Zhu has become a giant in front of him. Not to mention Xie Jin is afraid, Zhu Gaoxu himself is a little timid.

What is the best strategy?

Just as Zhu Gaoxu was thinking, footsteps sounded behind him.

"His Royal Highness the King of Han, please see Xie Jin!"

"Oh, I know!"

Zhu Gaoxu chuckled lightly and then changed direction.

Unexpectedly, the talented scholar Xie, who is proud of his talent and arrogance, would also give in!

But his choice was really not a coward, but a great courage!

After all, what they will face in the future is a huge monster!
